14 Charged in Crack Cocaine Bust

Fourteen people have been arrested in a Lexington County crack cocaine bust.

The investigation into the selling and distribution of crack cocaine took place over a five-month span and centered on a house in on Colony Park Lane near West Columbia. Initially, 12 people were arrested and charged with distributing, possessing or attempting to buy crack cocaine from the house at 3728 Colony Park Lane. Two others were arrested a week later bringing the arrest total to 14.

During the investigation, Officers with the Lexington County Multi-Agency Narcotics Enforcement Team (NET) stated they saw as many as 30 vehicles pull up to the house in one hour to buy crack cocaine. The investigation stemmed from complaints about drug dealing in the house.
